Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Contract & Closings website at contractandclosings.com (the "Site"), including any communication features such as our contact form, intake form, live chat, and consultation booking tools, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.

2. Description of Services

The Site provides information about the legal services offered by Contract & Closings, including but not limited to real estate contract review, closing services, title searches, and legal consultation. The Site also provides the following communication features:

• Contact Form — Allows you to send general inquiries to our team via an online form.
• Intake Form — Allows you to submit detailed information about your real estate matter for our team to evaluate.
• Live Chat — Provides real-time messaging through our Crisp-powered chat widget for quick questions and support.
• Consultation Booking — Allows you to schedule a consultation with our team through our Cal.com-powered scheduling tool.

3. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Use of the Site and its communication features does not create an attorney-client relationship. Submitting a contact form, intake form, live chat message, or booking a consultation does not establish a legal representation agreement between you and Contract & Closings. An attorney-client relationship is only formed when a written engagement agreement has been signed by both parties.

Information exchanged through the Site's communication features should not be considered legal advice. Do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through these channels until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established.

4. Acceptable Use of Communication Features

When using the Site's communication features, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and truthful information in all form submissions
• Use the communication features only for their intended purpose of inquiring about or engaging legal services
• Not submit any content that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable
• Not use the communication features for spam, solicitation, or commercial advertising
• Not attempt to interfere with or disrupt the functionality of the Site or its communication tools
• Not impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity

We reserve the right to refuse service, disable access to communication features, or disregard submissions that violate these Terms.

5. Communication and Response Times

While we strive to respond to all inquiries promptly, we do not guarantee specific response times for messages received through the contact form, intake form, live chat, or consultation booking features. Submission of a form or chat message does not obligate us to respond or to accept you as a client. The live chat feature may not be monitored at all times, and automated responses may be used when our team is unavailable.

6. Third-Party Services

The Site integrates with third-party services to provide communication features. These services include:

• Crisp — Powers our live chat functionality. Your use of the live chat is also subject to Crisp's terms of service.
• Cal.com — Powers our consultation scheduling feature. Your use of the booking tool is also subject to Cal.com's terms of service.
• Resend — Processes email delivery for form submissions.

We are not responsible for the practices, content, or availability of these third-party services. Your interactions with these services are governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is the property of Contract & Closings or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any content on the Site without our prior written consent.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

We make no warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any information provided through the Site or its communication features.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contract & Closings and its attorneys, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or its communication features, including but not limited to damages resulting from lost data, unauthorized access to your transmissions or data, or any actions taken or not taken in reliance on information provided through the Site's communication channels.

Your use of the Site and its communication features is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using the Site, you consent to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.

12. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of New York.

13. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Site with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
